Monkey menace in HDB estate

I have seen this monkey several times in the vicinity of Lorong 6, Toa Payoh. It sometimes helps itself to durians from the trash bin of a fruit stall at Block 211, Lorong 8, Toa Payoh.

Two weeks ago, the monkey trailed me while I was walking. When I took some photos, it started becoming hostile.

Last Saturday, I saw the monkey following me again. A passer-by said the monkey probably remembers me. I left quickly and called the police, who arrived shortly after. They told me I should be contacting the National Environment Agency instead.

I have seen other monkeys in the area as well. Late last year, my two sons spotted two monkeys near Beatty Secondary School.
